Cosworth Impreza STi CS400:
First
Look

United Kingdom - Subaru
and Cosworth have teamed up to produce supercar-like performance
figures for the hot hatch segment.

Introducing, the Cosworth Impreza STi CS400. This beast of a car is
based on the Subaru STi hatch, but unlike the standard 227kW of power
produced, this new machine boasts a much larger power figure.

Cosworth have taken the standard 2.5-litre Boxer turbo engine and
increased maximum power to 295kW and pushed torque figures to
540Nm. The improved power means the Cosworth Impreza STi
CS400 can rocket from 0 to 100km/h in 3.7 seconds, before topping out
at a limited 250km/h.

Just to put that into perspective, that's the same amount of time it
takes a V12 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano to accelerate from 0 to
100km/h.

Cosworth have added new pistons, connecting rods, a redesigned head
gasket and a new turbo with a new compressor design and wastegate
actuator. In addition Cosworth have also remapped the ECU.

At a glance you will notice a few styling changes
that include a new front bumper, mesh grille, foglights and a new rear
spoiler. Wheels are a set of new 18-inch alloys. The Cosworth Impreza
STi CS400 comes with in a choice of three colours - silver, dark grey
or red.
